Getting markers implanted on 6/3/15. Has anyone had problems going to work the next day due to pain?

Thanks

I had Calypso markers (3) for ART.

'bout kicked the nurse, hurt for a few hours, was at work the next day. My dilation Friday made whatever pain the markers brought register as a small footnote in discomfort.

For me it was easier than the biopsy. Almost a non-event. I only took the day of procedure off. There was no pain or issues.

well, except for having sharp objects shoved up your backside.

Mine were done in the morning, and I went back to work for the afternoon. Totally a non-event, like a less uncomfortable biopsy with only 3 pokes. No problem, and I hope yours goes just as well.

Much easier than a biopsy. Took just a few minutes. Had no pain afterwards. Not even any blood in urine. Continued the rest of the day shopping with my wife.

Enough pain to get my attention during the procedure having 3 gold fiducial markers but thanks to being on Lupron, forgot about it a few minutes later.

My husband had his done on 4/23. They told us to expect to be there 2.5 hours. We were in and out in 45 minutes. We stopped home, picked up our dog and went for a two mile hike. He went to work the next day. Said it was a piece of cake compared to the biopsy.
